In the coming year, our efforts will focus on: • Ongoing programming at schools in Boulder County serving a projected 350 students at seven different locations. Our facilitators work with each group of children for an extended period of time (up to six hours per week in some cases), an important factor in our programs’ success in building teams and developing leaders. • Educational and performing residencies by Turning the Wheel staff in each Turning the Wheel target city. Full scheduling details are available upon request. These programs will serve an estimated 1200 young people in partnership with schools and community organizations in six other cities. • Programs in partnership with youth service organizations in Boulder and all six satellite cities; partners include after-school programs, homeless shelters, teen parent programs, and rehab programs as well as YWCA’s and teen leadership groups. These partnerships bring a rich diversity of participants to each Turning the Wheel program. • Facilitator trainings, using the new Turning the Wheel training guide, which has been drafted, field-tested and evaluated over the course of the past few years. Educators and youth service workers in partnership with TTW have been eager to have this resource to enhance their ability to apply the TTW model in their own work setting. • Continued evaluation of our model’s applicability. Our focus will be leadership development and establishing mentoring relationships. Our observations and anecdotal analysis make it quite clear that our programs are effective in these areas; we are eager for a more quantitative assessment so that we can develop and replicate these findings.
